Homeschooling & ADD, Giftedness, and

General Educational Resources

We are neither particularly religious nor politically conservative. Many of the relevant links, however, emphasize a particular religion and/or have a politically conservative viewpoint. The variety of beliefs represented simply highlights the diverse conditions under which ADD/Aspergers and homeschooling are a good match. Even though we do not agree with everything contained in these links, we wanted to provide examples of a wide range of experiences that basically emphasized that homeschooling is an effective strategy, especially with children who have learning and behavioral issues. In addition, we also increasingly came to recognize a great deal of overlap of these characteristics with and giftedness.
